Pud Kearns with Housewarmers of Greenville is one person who can say she saw the Beatles live on stage.  It was 50 years ago, September 18, 1964, when the Fab Four performed their only Dallas concert at the Memorial Auditorium, now the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center.  And Pud says she actually had an unexpected, close-up encounter with John, Paul, George and Ringo that day.
